Which subreddits should I follow?

Asked by Seek (34808points) May 30th, 2014

I’m home, I’m bored, and I’m halfway into a bottle of wine. Time to figure out this Reddit thing – because there’s nothing like being ten years too late for the party.

If there’s another interesting site that isn’t Facebook or constantly attached to Facebook (like Buzzfeed or Upworthy) let me know. Mama needs to kill some time.

What kind of wine, red or white? I Wikipedia’s reedit and I barely know what it is. I just ate 5 pieces of home cooked drumsticks with salt and pepper.

@Seek “Subreddits”? Do you mean a site similar to Reddit or another part of Reddit?

@talljasperman An el-cheapo Cabernet Sauvignon – red. I don’t generally care for whites.

@Mimishu1995 – a sub-Reddit is a section of Reddit. Reddit is the site itself, a sub-Reddit is the individual pages.

The defaults lick butt. These are the subreddits I browse:
/r/listentothis
/r/metal (when it’s not circlejerky, one can find new stuff)
/r/badhistory
/r/documentaries
/r/fullmoviesonyoutube
/r/tumblrinaction
This is a great list, too.

I’m not on as much but they really do have everything. You knit? They have knitting reddits etc. I had my first shower beer because of reddit, although I didn’t submit a pic of myself doing it like some lol.

A little tip: when in a comment thread, click the plus sign next left of the user name. This will hide the comment and every response to the main comment. This is to help read through threads without scrolling so much, especially in a huge thread with 5000 comments lol.

If you’re looking for a site that’s not necessarily attached to FB, try Pinterest.

As the frustrated frog said while browsing books in his local library “reddit, reddit, reddit, tsk, reddit…sigh

Pinterest is attached to FB although I guess not exclusively. i found it a glorified scrapbook but others like it.

I was on Stumbleupon for a while which is ok.

@janbb: When I joined Pinterest, I made it so my pins don’t show up on my FB feed.

I find Pinterest helpful for when I want to research something like party ideas, crafts or recipes.
